Millions of Catholics have heard this familiar expression, yet many have never been taught its true meaning.
Does God want us to suffer? Does offering our sufferings add anything to Christ’s perfect Sacrifice? Why does the Church encourage us to unite our crosses with the Sacred Heart of Jesus?
In this lesson from Excerpta Catechismi – The Sacred Heart of Jesus (Volume I), discover the traditional Catholic teaching on suffering, sanctification, reparation, Divine Providence, and union with the Passion of Christ.
Drawing from Sacred Scripture, the Roman Catechism, the Catechism of St. Pius X, the Baltimore Catechism, the Fathers of the Church, and traditional Sacred Heart theology, this episode explains what Catholics truly mean when they say:
“Offer it up.”
May the Sacred Heart of Jesus reign in every heart.
